RE: Dynamic Variable Names in RPGLE

Awhile back I did this in a round about way using the system tables that
contain the user defined table definitions. In those tables you will have
the definition of all the different columns and datatypes for each table.
>From that you should be able to fairly dynamically access a particular row's
data.  

I don't have the source anymore because that was for a previous employer
(sorry) :-(

Could you expound on what you are trying to do?

Subject: Dynamic Variable Names in RPGLE

Any idea if we can use dynamic variable names in RPGLE?  

Something like this

 fldvalue = %value(&var1);

Once we chain to a file or create cursor program knows what fields are
available.  Is there any API or Userspace stuff to get the value of the
fields using a dynamic variable name?


Thanks
